Welcome Flying-fox Supporters
We figured that it's time we gave flying-foxes the respect they deserve as Australia's natural gardeners, a keystone species that works nightly to pollinate and disperse seeds for our forests.
We've established Flying-fox Supporters (FFS) as a national touchpoint for information and community engagement that highlights and supports the fantastic efforts already being made by many teams around Australia.

We've also put together a list of common questions and answers that may be of interest.

Thankyou to Mandi Griffith and James Chadwick whose images of flying-foxes being rescued, shown in care, feeding on blossom and finally graduating to release, form a large part of the 'slide share' presentations.
